MAGP Series: [2006] [2005] [2004] [2003] [2002] [2001] [2000] [1999] [1998]

Each of the Series events benefit, directly or indirectly, a deserving community service organization. It is hoped that this collaborative race series will further enhance the achievement of the goals of each of these organizations.

The Details

• It's FREE!!! No charge for participation in the Grand Prix.
• Participation in the 1999 Grand Prix is limited to runners only.
• You must enter at your first race of the year by checking the box provided on the application. Once you enter, you are in for the year. Points will not be awarded retroactively for a race if you enter after you run that event.
• You must enter and finish a minimum of 5 races in the series.
• Only an individual's top five race scores w9ill be factored into the final total.
• The top ten male and female series finishers will receive championship awards at the end of the year.
• In the event of a tie score among the top ten finishers at the end of the series, the place of finish will be determined by the runner who has accumulated the most points for all races run (not just the points for the top 5 races).
• Individuals who complete 10 out of the 11 races will receive a commemorative award at the end of the year.
• Scheduled races and race dates are subject to change. Reasonable efforts will be made to notify series entrants if and when such changes occur. Grand Prix officials do not assume responsibility for cancellation of individual member races.

• Finish Points = Your percentile place of finish. For example, if you win a race you would receive 100 points. If you finish in the middle of the pack, you would receive 50 points, etc. Percentiles will be rounded up to the nearest whole number for each race.
• Age Points = You will receive 1 point for each year your age is over or under age 28.
• Bonus Points = You will receive 3 points per race if you are a member of the Morgantown Roadrunners/West Virginia Track Club. You must become a club member before you will be awarded points for a race.

An Example A race has 150 finishers - Runner A is 28 years old, finishes in 11th place, and is not a WVTC member. Runner B is 53 years old, finishes in 53rd place and is a WVTC member. Points for this race are calculated as follows:

	A	B
Finish Points	93	65
Age Points	0	25
Membership Points	0	3
Total	93	93

It's a tie! A and B will have to duel it out in the next race!

The Morgantown Roadrunners, WV Track Club, would like to thank all the participants in the 1998 Grand Prix series. Participation in the series races increased by over 60% this past year. There were over 700 more runners than in 1997. This also means that an additional $7,000 was raised, of which a portion went to the various worthy causes. We would like to think the Grand Prix was responsible for part of this increase.
